What Does Barry Soetoro Think?

With all of the news about the meltdown in the credit markets I realize the following is a bit off topic. However, I received a viral e-mail yesterday from a friend in Hollywood that included the following:
Let me see if I have this straight…
If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you’re ‘exotic, different.Grow up in Alaska killing and eating moose, you’re a quintessential American story.
If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
But if you name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you’re a maverick.
Well, you know me. I could not let this pass without some snark. So I sent my friend a note pointing out that this was amusing since Barack was raised from the ages of 6-10 in Indonesia, his name was Barry Soetoro, and he was in fact a muslim.
I know you’ll be shocked, but my friend reacted as if I had a foot growing out of my forehead. She claims this is all nonsense. So as a public service let’s deal hard core facts–you know, documentary and video evidence:
First, here is the certificate of enrollment at the Indonesian school:
For those of you not up to speed with Malaysian here is the English translation:
Barack Obama’s step father, Lolo Soetoro, adopted him and listed his name as “Barry” not Barack. Since Lolo was a muslim I don’t think he would have had a problem with a step-son named “Barack.” But Mr. Lolo Soetoro did identify Barry’s religion as Islam. This is not a matter of opinion. It is a hard core fact. This does not mean that the guy we now know as Obama was a terrorist in training. 99% of the muslims in Indonesia are law abiding folks who reject terrorism. What I don’t understand is why Obama continues to hide this part of his life and pretend that he was raised a poor white child in Kansas?
And finally, courtesy of ABC, here is video confirmation that the man we now know as Barack Obama was known in Indonesia as Barry Soetoro:
I don’t object to digging up details on Sarah Palin’s past. If she wants to be Vice President we need to know everything. But the same condition applies to Barack “BARRY SOETORO” Obama. Why does the media by and large ignore this major gap in the Barack narrative?
